Well, I’ve been working with app development companies all my life and I can tell you that a typical from the scratch build can take you anywhere from 6 months to one year.
The costs would depend on the kind of developers and designers you hire and how many you hire.
This is not really a one-man job when starting from scratch.The best option in my opinion would be to get a food delivery clone script like ubereats clone script and ask them to customize it for your business.
This would be better because you can set up a fully-functional food delivery platform fairly quickly.
And you can get these scripts for around $3000 or so depending on the company you approach.Anyway, this is a better option than building from scratch and hiring a team for the process.
These companies selling the clones will already have people working with them who will help you out.
